The group sat in a circle around the campfire fire, a few days after the Terminus debacle, laughing and joking as Maggie told another joke about one of her exes, leading into a story about her first kiss and how awful it was. "He slobbered ALL over me. I was mortified."
Beth started snickering across the fire from her, Rick to her left and Carol to her right.
"Quit snickering. Like you've got any experience. I don't think you've got much experience at all."
"I do!"
" Prove it, I'm pretty sure you've never even had a real kiss. Not even with Jimmy."
Beth glared at Maggie, a challenge in her eyes. She looked around at the group sitting in the campfire, noting everyone's eyes on her, before turning to Rick in one fluid motion and leaned over, slanting her lips over his. He started to pull back immediately before inwardly smiling at the chance to actually kiss Beth Greene, and moved his lips in sync with hers. Her lips parted and Rick took the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance, an intricate dance. Rick reached his hand up and threaded his fingers into Beth's golden, unruly locks, giving a gentle tug to angle her head better.
They finally broke apart, panting for breath, eyes scanning each other's and then the faces of their family.
The group was silent until Daryl, smirking, said, "Beth Greene ain't as innocent as her sis' thinks."
Beth smiled cheekily at Daryl before turning the smile on her sister, gaining a scowl from her. "Guess I was wrong,"
Beth turned and looked at Rick just long enough for him to wink at her.
Maggie turned the attention back to herself. As soon as the attention of everyone (save for Daryl and Michonne sending smirks hers and Rick's way every few moments) was back on Maggie, Beth let her hand creep the small distance between herself and Rick's thigh and trailed her fingers over it, a ghost of a touch. She watched from the corner of her eye as a shiver racked his body. She scooted an inch closer, their sides now pressed against each other's.
One by one the members of the group started to yawn sleepily and bid their good nights until it was only Rick, Beth and Daryl left around the campfire. Rick and Daryl chatted for a few moments more. Daryl eyed the two the entire time he and Rick made small talk, his eyes traveling back and forth from their sides pressed together and Rick's hand now on Beth's upper thigh.
"Think I'll leave ya two lovers alone," Daryl grinned as he stood up, taking his crossbow with him and crossing the small camp to his sleeping bag on the outskirt of the camp, away from the several tents set up.
A/n: Another one for the "All Eyes On Us prompt. Hope ya like it. Thank you to coolstoryshawty and beyondmythought-s for helping me come up with ideas for the damn prompts because I, apparently, suck.
